ElginLayoutEDIT

Elgin’s historic buildings set it apart.  Elgin was prosperous and large enough to support a booming downtown in the late 1800’s until the mid-1900’s.  The buildings that once housed dozens of downtown shops and the historic churches are just as impressive today as they were 100 years ago. As I’ve walked around downtown, these buildings have gathered my attention; and I wanted to document the names, brickwork, and cornerstones on a few of them … which then turned into this black & white poster.
